Since i tend to only buy here and there, then its not a good deal for

I NEVER spend money to try and save money ...never


Never installed insulation or a low energy light bulb?

not the same thing at the end of the day I have something....


So the "never" bit was actually an economy with the truth then.

I am sure they are plenty of other cases where you probably do pay
something to get a discount later (e.g.paying for a flat rate call
package to get unmetered calls etc).

The irony is that its not even a good metaphor for prime since part of
it a subscription to a streaming service anyway.
